Application filed April 2. 1909. Serial No. 487,514.

To all ZIJ/ZOII'L it may roncern.

Be it known that l, llnmcx lsnmnm. \Yinin, a ritizen of the United States. residing at Buti'alo, in the eount of Erie and the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Edible- Nut Crackers, o't' whit-h the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in nut crackers, with the object of supporting the nut, to be eraeked, in an inexpensive and portable means, adapted for this purpose.

My device is illustrated in elevation in Figure 1, and in plan in Fig. 2.

In the figures, a nut. N is shown resting in a depression I), in the. apex A of a eonieal support S on the base l3. 5 is another eonieal support on the base B similar to the support 5. but shown partially broken away/ to better illns rate the depressioi'i l). The nut N may be conveniently held in the depression l) by the operator to receive a blow from a hammer or the like, while the fingers of the operator rest in any oireuinterential position about the support; S. The (ll31)19 5 sions l) and 1) may vary in size and form as desired. One or any number of supports similar to S and S may be had upon the base I); besides, any variation in design, other than that illustrated in the figures, may be used, that comes within the scope of my invention as defined in the. claim, hence I do not wish to be confined tothe exaet form of my invention shown in the figures.

I claim:

In a nut eraeker. a base, one or more eonieal supports on said base, eaeh of said supports containing a smooth deprt 'sion in the apex thereof, adapted to reeelve a nut when held in any eireumterential position by the mperator, substantially as set forth.
